If I cut the cr*p out of the sentence which one of the following should be the correct interpretation?

By developing the Secure Digital Music Initiative,the recording Industry associations of North America, Japan, and Europe hope to create a standardizied way of distributing songs and full length recordings on the Internet that will protect copyright holdersand(hope to) foil the many audio pirates who copy and distribute digital music illegally

OR

Second is correct. The sentence talks about "standardize way" that will do so many things ......they have already found a way, which is hoped to this all this.

Can someone please help with this one? If "while they" was not used in D, would it have been more correct grammatically?

Nope. even when you eliminate "while", D is still incorrect. The reason is.

First, you need to know What protects copyright and foils audio pirates? The associations or a standardized way? The answer is a standardized way, because the associations are already protecting the recording industry by other means, not a new standardized way. So we need "that" in A to modify a standardized way by which the associations hope copyright holders will be protected and the many audio pirates will be foiled.

Hope it helps.
